Kelly Bar Adapter Repair
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Hey guys, Have you ever snapped off a ratchet reducer, like from a 1/2" to a 3/8" when putting some torque on too small of socket? Well, this is basically the same but on a much larger scale. This Adapter reduces the square driving shaft for a larger foundation drilling rig to use smaller tooling such as smaller augers or core barrels.
Stick around to see the various ways I chose to trim off the excess weld material. I hope you enjoy, so kick back and relax.

As a 25 year old starting out in this field I appreciate the comparison aspects of the videos, I’ve learned a lot about the repair side of welding from you. Thank you for the effort. Your son is truly blessed to have such a skilled instructor as a father. Keep it up.
Are you working for someone or starting your own business? I'm only asking because I started by working with an old timer for 5 years. Before buying my own equipment.
I have about 6 years fabrication in a shop setting and worked with some great and knowledgeable guys. I just this year started my own company.
@@GARRETT-FAB Man that's great to hear. I'm not that much older than you, but I'm glad to hear that younger people still see how necessary, lucrative, and fulfilling trades like this can be. If you're 25 and starting your own business then you'll be alright.
@@GARRETT-FABKeep on top of the bookwork. That's where most tradies, no matter the trade, fall down.
I personally had the wrong accountant for a number of years and that cost me plenty. I also let myself down by not keeping up with the simple bookwork and keeping receipts properly.

as an electrician for 30 years now, I've learned how to fix any mistakes I make when wiring something. I think part of the learning process of any trade is to know how to fix a mistake. I bet it won't come apart now, and as for the cutting mistakes, I didn't see anything.... As usual, another great job done! If Isaac can weld (or cut), so can you! lol Have a Merry Christmas.

Damn. 27v and 602…gotta love that spray transfer
You are a very good teacher I can see it takes lots of patience
I could almost feel the intense heat of that work!
Your second side with the plasma says it all. As your seat time increases so does your proficiency. I"m always learning something over here. Appreciate your time.
Dress Right Dress, PROPER Repair! Phenomenal work ISAAC! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another good one Isaac. Very interesting with different methods.
Nice to see you had time to load a video. Nice job 👍
I am totally frustrated tonight. This is my third attempt to express my thoughts you've brought out performing this repair. I went back to year ago and watched a vid when you tried out your first plasma cutter. It inspired me. I started researching and settled on a 65amp machine I saw tested against two or three other machines. A very talented friend liked mine so well (he already had a 85amp mach) he bought one also. They won't do it all but pretty handy. I turned in my acetylene tank and have reverted to cutting with propane and oxy.
Your work on this adapter just re-enforces my belief. Welding is still 90% technique. I've seen the best machines fail because the operator didn't know what they should have known. Big fancy equipment makes somebody a bunch of money.
I would find it interesting to follow this part when it goes back to work. How many cycles does it run,& how many hours, etc.
If you told me spaghetti was the best filler material, I'd take it to the bank. Your videos have surely inspired many "weldors" to be, to dig a little harder, practice a little more and watch another I C Weld video, maybe even on or two from "On Fire Welding", LOL........
May I wish your Family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. Let's hope this ole country finds it's way back the the principles that made it great and can be again.
Ye Ole Caterpillar Cowboy
Very well stated. Yee Haw Cowboy!
Cheers!

Seems to me like third time was the charm!
Happy New Year Caterpillar Cowboy!

On a job like this I would have 100% used my torch over my air arc. Never have tried plasma gouging. Good on you sir for show the options
Thank you Isaac. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. GOD bless you and your family.🎉
Great job! That plasma works pretty slick!
Nice vid. Appreciate you taking the time to show all three cutting methods.
There is no work in the shop right now so you have inspired me to practice arch gouging and vertical welding my 2 weakest skils
That was really good. Thank you showing the different ways and different tools to use. I got a plasma cutter not as big as one you have but it does. The trick turned out good. Thank you. Interesting stuff. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
I love watching two true artists, you and Kurtis
I always learn something new when I watch your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Bought a Miller 252 for at home after seeing how much abuse the 251 takes at work. The 252 works ok most times at home but I don't feel it's as robust as the 251 is we use at work. With multiple users (abusers) it just runs, zero feeding issues. Not sure what the differences are between the two but the 251 can take more abuse. Great video .
I'm not sure of the differences in machines but the 251 works great. It was one of the first wire welding machines I bought. Still holding up strong.
Liked the use of the auto-sensing welding lens with your video! Great teaching and comparison Isaac!
You Sir are a Artist of what you do. Well done fella.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thanks for the education and entertainment.
Excellent video as always Isaac - well done from Canada!
Love the curved torch tips--have never seen that before !!!
Isaac you are awesome and the way you explain everything is always amazing. I have been watching for a couple of years
Thanks for the tutorial,great to see the results.
Fabulous job again Isaac
I completely agree with doing things the way you know how to do them, the way you are good at them, despite how other people might be doing it.
Great video. It was great that you showed the different ways that you can do things. You are amazing with a torch though.
You are the master of the arc 👍beautiful job cheers from California
This video exhibits the efficiencies of the various gouging methods. If you have the equipment, the plasma process wins hands down. But as shown, the learning curve is pretty high for even as someone as proficient as you.
We will be taking notes as you tune in the process for your current equipment.🤔
I’m also watching that jaw dropping laser welding processes. Wow! I can see the advantages when butt welding sheetmetal and controlling distortion.
Great video as you always do. You do a great job of explaining what you’re doing. Thank you
When I worked for a drill bit mfg company, I bought custom-made welding tips from Profax. Great video!
Your videos are mesmerizing to watch; so satisfying to watch someone really excellent at what they're doing.
For someone not in the trade, it is interesting to hear how you approach your work and the settings you use. When you arc gauge you angle the tip down into the metal, but when you plasma gauge you angle it almost flat across the metal. Maybe in a future video, you could elaborate on why a particular angle of attack, and what happens when you change the angles.
Thanks for taking the time to publish this, I know that's work, too!
Good suggestion. Thats an interesting observation. good catch. I hadnt noticed the difference in angle.
90 👍's up IC WELD thank you for sharing 😎
Fantastic work with the torch. Great Indian torch bearer 🔥👍
Very interesting! Thank you for providing a great comparison of three gouging techniques. Plasma was fast! One thing is for certain: this repaired Kelly bar is going to serve long and well. :)
Sir thank you for showing all the ways to get it fixed,
Nice arc shots! I agree, arc gouging is king. So much more control
You make it look so easy , keep the vid's coming , thank's Richard in the UK
I save plasma gouging for aluminum.. but i gotta say that hypertherm machine hauls the mail. Impressive for sure!
Thank you for sharing a real situation that most would expierence
Great work, Isaac!
I’m with you, Isaac, I prefer to arc gouging most things. And as far as the porosity is concerned, it’s really hard with equipment because a lot of times the weld will pull out the oil and there’s nothing you can do about it. Thanks for the videos. have a good weekend.
U are a legend at wat u do my friend
Excellent video, thanks for sharing! It helps to pull the oxy acetylene torch from the work area once you are gouging to cover a larger surface area and get a smoother finish
The surgeon is back at work. Nice
all ways nice to see different options to do the same job.
Great job as always
Looks way stronger than the first go round Isaac . Nice work .:)
Another great IC Weld job.
You sir are actually a teacher.
Thanks Issac, I always learn something!:) It's must be fairly common that we revert to what we know. The plasma gouge really seemed to work well and with practice you could use the warped stream to your advantage. Merry Christmas from Wisconsin!
Great work it lives to drill another day
another well done repair
great video, nice work, thanks for the lesson
Love the lessons! Thank you!
As with anything Isaac practice makes perfect, though you admitted you were still learning with it, your first runs with the Plasma seemed very fast and effective and produced very good results, and the Carbon Arc was excellent but seemed to take longer than the Plasma, what can anyone say about your torch work, superb as usual, the whole exercise to show the difference between the systems was very informative.
Very interesting to see the difference in methodology. Peace.
Think all three processes have there good and bad would depend on what's at hand on the given day me i prefer the Plasma but that's me thanks for showing us all the three have a great day Cheers
Something that almost looks like an impossibility somehow you make it look damn good!
Now THAT is a needle scaler.
Nice job😊
Respect ... Some field jobs are trial and analysis. Great suff I c
Excellent job ,greetings from Colombia
You’ve got to admit it IC, Hypertherm has got the gouging thing figured out! Somehow, I never have owned an arc gouger, I always used oxy/acetylene and scarfing tips until I bought my Hypertherm 45XP. I keep it on the truck all the time and I can easily run it at max output off my Lincoln 305G engine drives.
Great work as usual...
Thank you as always for sharing your work. Happy holidays Isaac!
Another great job by a great craftysman
Hi, excellent work and much appreciated all the hard work that goes in to you making videos
can you show us you little turn table and what you made it from
All the best
Jamie James
@welderfaber loves ur videos always says ur a man he loves to watch ❤
Great video.
Nice work. love the vids
I C WELD IS A MASTER AT ANY METAL CUTTING OR SHAPING PROCESSES!
Very nice
Great video, thanks for all the instructional tips!
I enjoyed seeing the plasma gouging, Isaac. Also the carbon arc work. My machine is limited to 3/16 carbons, so whenever possible I will use plasma arc gouging. You certainly proved a fairly flat surface can be achieved with it. Peening with the needle scaler seems to solidify the weld, especially if its still hot, and my guess is it could also help with a pin hole here & there, and help fuse the beads together a bit. Is that correct? Keep the videos coming, as we learn so much from you! Much appreciated!
@woodartist2021, peening takes some stress out of the metal (how the weld wants to pull and shrink, but can't because it got welded to other metal? Peening helps relieve that.)
It can definitely help out with obliterating the odd pinhole so the paint shop doesn't have to deal with that nonsense 😂
carbon neutral elbow support.
Excellent repair and comparison of arc/plasma/OA gouging! I don't have plasma, & would agree that carbon arc gouging seems easier/more controllable than using OA.
It's interesting that you now prefer hard-wire mig for this type of application; seems like I remember you using 7018's on kelly bars in the past- Is it simply a matter of working, + speed/productivity?
Along similar lines, I'd really like to learn more about dualshield if you have a good opportunity to show it off/discuss it some.
Thanks for the great content!
Im a 7018 kinda guy when im out in the field. being as I am here in the shop, it makes more sense to wire weld or dual shield it.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
8:39 😂 its so funny how we know something is hot and we touch it anyways! I do it all the time.
Those plasma gouges they're good hay
As a nobody, seems plasma is very good at removing alot of material fast. Butchers cleaver. Arc does does less material but has more control but it doesnt flow as the Gas. Gas is very fine but constant thin stream and not agressive but a thin amount removed of material being removed. Safest bet. So heavy, medium and fine is how it seems.
You probably can get special plasma cutter tips for gouging 😊
I would have never dreamed of welding it with .030 wire. 7018 would have been a much better choice. Sometimes pretty welds aren't good, and sometimes good welds aren't pretty.
'or 8018
Great video as usual !!!!
What's the cost difference like between the arc gouging, gas, plasma? Consumables, gas, set ups etc, does that make a real difference in what you would use
Its hard to say. Each has their place but when you consider the initial cost of each process and the tooling needed to do the job, it weighs heavily on what a person already owns. If you have a torch, then you have the cost of the fuel. If you have a high amp welder, then you're cost would be the additional gouging torch and consumables. Then theres the big up front cost of a plasma cutter. Its not an easy answer but I prefer Arc Gouging with carbon rods.
You and Kurtis both me thinks@@ICWeld
The reason folks say "don't use hardwire on thick material" is because short-circuit GMAW tends not to have good penetration or wetting on thick stuff.
Judging by your puddle size, amount of spatter, and the way it sounds, I'm guessing you're running globular transfer (plenty of pen, but kinda messy with the spatter.)
I think you're running either 75/25 mix or 100% CO2? If you change gas mix to 85/15 (or 90/10, just as long as the argon is higher than 84%,) you should be able to get spray transfer. It runs a bit prettier, and lots less spatter, still plenty of pen. A bit more expensive with the higher argon, but I think it's worth it just to hear it hiss!
My welds look better now that I use your wood block style.
Looks good, Isaac. Nice arc shots, thank you! Merry Christmas! Do they make a scarfing tip for the plasma torch?
I was wondering if it's possible AND faster to remove those welds with a band saw(large enough one with coolant)?
I was thinking about alternative methods for removing the weld and a band saw would definitely do it but I don't know how well the blade would hold up. A grinder with a cut off disc could have done it pretty fast.
I think i would set that big end up in my vertical band saw and just cut the weld off very slow feed rate take 45 mins to hour but would been super clean and i could been working on other things why that was cutting
Merry Christmas, what kind of wheel are you using on the grinder?
I wonder if a 12" metal chop saw or a band saw would have worked as as fast?
Not as cool though!!😁😁😄😄😉👍
@@ICWeld No, I'll agree with you there Isaac
⚓️ Thanks Isaac 🎶 what about annealing? Seems like those tools would benefit from some heat treatment to relieve stress & prevent the cracks 😎
They do make different scarfing tips for plasma cutters.
I must say I liked the plasma cutter. It seemed to cut a lot cleaner and no consumables - except electric.
The tips wear out.
Technically you are putting wear and tear on your air compressor but so does arc gouging.
Even with the cost of tips my guess is the plasma cutter is the cheapest to run, the scarfing torch the most expensive and the arc gouging set up is in the middle.
Would be interesting for someone to calculate the cost of each method.
Air arc for the win!
Always enjoy your videos. Have a question what marking pencil do you use. I have used the silver pencil but it is to soft and brakes. Thanks for the help and making great videos. Jim from NC
In the description
Makes a guy wonder how much torque is being delivered by that to tear it apart? I know you said there were some cracks but even so.
Would a band saw have been quicker to chop off the excess on the larger piece?
